A site your church can update hassle-free.
Pages, sermons, events, and forms — edited by your team in seconds. No plugins. No agency on retainer.
No card required. Free for 30 days. Built for small-to-mid churches.
Built for the volunteer who has 20 minutes on Saturday night.
Most church websites haven't been touched since the last pastor. Here's the difference.
Your current setup
- ×WordPress, 14 plugins, three of them unmaintained since the Obama administration
- ×An agency you can't reach until Monday (and a $180 invoice for that)
- ×Sermons that disappear into your YouTube channel like socks in a dryer
- ×Nobody knows the admin password except Greg, and Greg is on a cruise
- ×The hero image still says "Easter 2023." It's almost Easter again.
With Churchsites
- One page editor, written this decade.
- Your team edits. No tickets. No email chains titled "URGENT: please fix"
- Sermons land on your site automatically
- Invite anyone with editor or admin role. (Greg can keep his cruise.)
- Open the editor, change a block, publish. That's the loop.
The actual product. Real screens, shipping today.
We're new — but the software is real and working right now. Here's exactly what your team logs into.
Edit on the left. Watch it change on the right.
Pick a block, change the words, swap the photo — the live preview updates as you go. Draft your changes, then publish when you're ready. No code, no theme files, no FTP.
- True live preview — desktop, tablet & mobile
- Draft now, publish the moment it's ready
Your whole site, on one calm screen.
Every collection in the sidebar, with built-in analytics up top — page views and your most-visited pages, no Google Analytics to wire up. Install a preset to start, or add a collection of your own.
- Built-in analytics — nothing to set up
- Presets stand up a full site in one click
News, sermons, events — structured, and yours.
Everything is a collection you control: news, sermons, events, ministries, or something only your church needs. Track draft vs. live, import from a CSV, and grab a clean read-only API per collection when you need it.
- Draft / live status, with item revisions
- Copy-API and CSV import built right in
Every block, configurable. Still no code.
Layout, content, and field mapping for each block — all set in plain language, not a config file.
Make it yours. No tech skills required.
A friendly, step-by-step setup walks you through your logo, colours, fonts, and the rest — one plain-English question at a time. Every choice shows a live preview, so you see exactly how it'll look before anyone else does.
- Drop in your logo, set brand and accent colours
- Pick heading & body fonts from curated pairings
- Tune spacing, navigation, components & footer
- Approve each step before moving on
Everything your site needs — plus the boring parts done right.

Be one of our founding churches.
Churchsites started with a few church web-dev clients who wanted sites that didn't look like templates — and could still be updated on a Saturday night without calling a developer. WordPress was a plugin graveyard. The fancier visual builders have become part-time jobs. The easier ones felt like they haven't been updated since 2011. So Churchsites was built to let churches have it both ways: a site that looks like theirs, and a CMS the volunteer team can actually run. Churchsites is built by people in ministry, for people in ministry.
